You called it an &quot;acting&quot; moment and your description of it and why it&#39;s so moving is dead on!

Ursula is awesome though and brought something Disney&#39;d been careful to avoid, the sexually experienced ex-Broadway diva, holding court in her apartment before terrified yet delighted guests for tea, salon-style. <br /><br />Ariel is great because when she first says the word, &quot;Why, Eric!&quot; to the statue, I always jump and get a lysergic shiver up my spine, plus she&#39;s one of the first girl characters to actually start breathing heavy when she&#39;s aroused. You know the animators are top flight when they make sure they&#39;re characters are actually breathing.Erich Kuerstenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02850572368098319317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-12644863110655331392010-06-20T17:02:38.030-04:002010-06-20T17:02:38.030-04:00The best?

But really, it&#39;s not just the singing. she knew how to rock the stage.. I mean.. underwater cave.<br /><br />I have to admit that even though I really like the movie, it&#39;s one of these cases where the villain is almost the only great thing in it. I said almost :p<br /><br /><br />Also, I remember when I was a kid, I had made a list of my &quot;most beautiful women&quot; and I think Jessica Rabbit was at the top (she&#39;s was certainly in there) and Pfeiffer as Catwoman was in, too. (I&#39;m not very sure but she had to! I was even (or thought I was) in love with a girl when I was 4 because her last name was Kyla.
